Technical Group Culture

About us

According to The Paracas Declaration, signed during the 10th Pacific Alliance Summit, on July 3, 2015, the presidents instructed the creation of the Pacific Alliance Culture Technical Group.

Cultural and creative industries have a high potential as a productive sector and a booster of the economy given its double nature: on the one hand, they are linked to the production of wealth thanks to its high profitability, the revitalization of the economy and the income and employment generation; and, on the other hand, they strengthen social values by influencing significantly the construction of diverse identities and the strengthening of citizenship.
 
The Culture Technical Group aims to promote the development of entrepreneurship of the cultural and creative industries of the member countries, taking advantage of their high productive and dynamic potential of a sustainable economy that, at the same time, builds and projects internationally the identity and diversity of the Pacific Alliance.
